I finished watching Supergirl season 3.

It isn't perfect, but it is good. There is hope, and it actually commits to the idea that we should really try helping each other.

The DEO getting rid of their guns is a good arc to take. I liked the bit about heroes only needing a shield.

There's some stuff I still don't like. The whole approach to the Worldkillers and ( Read more... )


There are so many brilliant women in this show, and stories about mothers and daughters and finding yourself and trying to balance all the sides of your life, and a lot of people stuff mixed with the superhero stuff in ways I really appreciate.

So, it made me happy
and I look forwards to next season.

Today I dreamt Supergirl had a new three storey house and the top floor needed extensive renovation but she was busy being Supergirl and also not a plumber so she needed to find someone that could take on the project but she would also be living there so secret identities would be an issue

and now I'm thinking identity porn slow burn get together fic
but I don't know with who.




Also this house was HUGE, like one corner of the top floor had three rooms so plausibly nine rooms per floor easy, and they had... well you could call it a rudimnetary en suite but see also extensive renovation. So they were like hotel rooms or the fancier dorms. And huge, like double bed no problem. The kind of spacious you only see on TV.

So, the basic question becomes, why does Supergirl need like eighteen doem rooms and a really big kitchen diner ground floor?

Answer maybe Justice League embassy? But with no team yet.

So now the story is about interviewing and choosing a team, and maybe dating them, BUT the endgame person is whoever is steadily fixing the plumbing.

So now I'm thinking they're like a normal human just being normal and domestic.



But also there could be base under seige time near the end of the season and it turns out why the place is taking so long to fix is they've been making it totally badass and defended.



... and maybe the penultimate misunderstanding is when Supergirl finally asks them on a date after this and they think she's just doing it because now they've done fighting? And that's not who they want to be?

But Kara mostly really likes this home they made for her and just realised she had to carpe diem because danger.

... or stopped being afraid because the civilian isn't as vulnerable as feared.




So I don't know who this should be because canon people have bigger and better things to do? But you could AU any inventor into there. ... maybe one who coyldn't get security clearance for official DEO stuff because of family connections, who is trying to live a good quiet life now...






I should watch Supergirl today

I need some Supergirl icons :-)

I finished watching Supergirl season 1 :-)

... wait, I finished watching :-(

But, Supergirl!

*happy eee noises*

See, I know it's not perfect, but I really like the stuff it does well, so it is a happy place, and all about hope and love and stronger together :-)

Also sometimes there's a moment where they're either going to do a really bad thing or a really good one, and they choose the good one! :-)

... yes, that was indeed the ! of happy surprise. I have watched so many thing that did not acknowledge the plausible possibility of the good ones. So many.

So Supergirl is a happy place and I am all *happy eee*

Except for the thing where I have finished it and must now wait for any more.



There were so many women! ( Read more... )



So the series before this one that I watched through was Lost Girl, so now I'm imagining a show with as many women as Supergirl and as much bi kissing as Lost Girl.

... I may imagine that at some length, later.

... *blinks*



But I'm still just *happy eee* about Supergirl.



The only thing I noticed though is I keep reading everyone as so young except for, like, Cat and Eliza and Alex. ... I may be possibly a lot <3 about Alex. Which is weirdly awkward if I think about it too hard because I have longstanding appreciation of both of her character's parents actors / other characters, so that's, like... *blinks* *a lot*

... like, basically, it is making me think about my age, in the weeks running up to my birthday.

... aaaaand I just paused to blink a lot and look up a lot of ages.
*sigh*



But! Basically! Everyone is pretty and their characters are nice and I like everyone and this is such a fun playground and *happy bouncing yaays*

Supergirl!
